I'd go with the GTX 950.

that'll be good for at least the next 2 to 3 years.

 

That can't be predicted, and either way to get close to that you need to spend a lot more. Unless you mean to run games (regardless of settings), in which case I'd go for the 950.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Hey guys. I need a graphics card for 1080p gaming that'll be good for at least the next 2 to 3 years. I'm on a budget and need to decide between the GTX 760 and the new GTX 950. Please help. Thanks!

They perform about the same, so I would say 950.

il would go with the gtx 950 also since it supports DX 12.1 which improves performance (with low cpu's )

You would think Ubisoft would support the Bulldozer based architectures more given their digging themed names like bulldozer, Piledriver, Steamroller and Excavator.

Kepler supports DX12 which may not include every feature of it, but definitely does include low CPU overhead.

Yes but for any card that supports DX12, low CPU overhead is there. That's a function of DX12 and just the way the API works.

If you can spend the extra money, I'd go with the 960 or something from AMD. I don't trust cut down chips from NVIDIA anymore ever since the 970's 3.5GB issue. From what I can see though in benchmarks it seems fine in performance regardless should it have an underlying 1.5GB issue that hasn't been discovered.

System: Intel Core i3 3240 @ 3.4GHz, EVGA GTX 960 SSC 2GB ACX 2.0, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Kingston HyperX RAM, ASRock B75M-DGS R2.0 Motherboard, Corsair CX430 W Power Supply
